NEWS RELEASE
HOSPICE GEORGIAN TRIANGLE FOUNDATION
*************************
Normally “Winter Blast” is a fun day where we gather to celebrate and to raise much needed funds for Hospice Georgian Triangle. The Royal LePage Locations North team host the day at Craigleith Ski Club where we hit the slopes, the trails, and even the spa! We have lunch together; we purchase incredible silent auction items and we enjoy live music.

While we can't be physically together this year, the funds raised by this important initiative are still critically needed. So instead, with the help of Royal LePage Locations North, Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation is running the Winter Blast online 50/50!

All funds raised stay in our community, helping to ensure palliative care and end-of-life support is in place for of all those who need it, and always at no cost to the patient or their family.

Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 15 at www.HGT5050.com. An early bird prize of $500 will be drawn on February 26 at noon with the jackpot draw on Friday March 12. (Lottery Licence Number RAF1201088)

Collingwood resident Mr. Jerry Gaatch was the lucky winner of our December 50/50 jackpot of over $20,000! Purchase your tickets and maybe you will be the big winner on March 12!

Everyone is encouraged to please buy tickets through the website. If you wish to purchase tickets with cash or cheque, please make prior arrangements with Kelley Cookson at 705-444-2555 ext. 7523 or [email protected]. Due to Covid-19 protocols, an appointment must be made in advance to purchase tickets in person at our new office at 186 Hurontario Street, unit 103, Collingwood.

Thank you for your generous support of the Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation.
